We ask overnight boaters to register in order for state parks to obtain accurate attendance counts as well as providing vital information in case of an emergency within the park where possible evacuation may be necessary and to provide information in case of an emergency where the boaters family or friends may need to contact them.

The annual permit decal must be affixed to the boat so that it will be visible from outside the boat. For example, boats with windshields, placement could be in the lower port (left) corner of the windshield. For boats without windshields, placement could be on the port (left) outside transom. For sailboats, placement could be on the forward part of the port (left) cabin trunk.
